SATURDAY MORNING Oet. S«, 18*«
A Good Work Intugonted.
A number of Indies of Columbia
recognising the necessity ol finding em
ployment for that large class of persons
whose means have been swept »wbt by
the calamitous termination of the war,
hare determined to organise an asso
ciation for the purpose of obtaining "in'
terials and encouraging the manufac
ture of a description of clothing seldom
met with at the North, and sending it
for sale to those points where money is
abundant and wealth can afford to P*7
for such luxuries of the toilette as our
ladies know so well how to fabricate.
It ia propoeed to attach to the institu
tion a home store in which articlee may
be deposited lor sale—(the name of the
depoaitor to be withheld if desired) and
where our citizens and strangers may
go to purchase the trimmings and fancy
articlee ordinarily to be found at such
establishments. The profit upon the
•ale of these staple articles will, h is be
lieved, pay the expenses of the manage
ment, and thus leave the sums accruing
from the sale of articles fabricated and
deposited by our own people, to be de
livered intact.
When it in remembered that a very
large number of ladies would to-day
make up hats, collars, embroidery, etc.,
if there was an opportunity to dispose
of them at anything like their real
▼aloe, and that this association of ladies
have it iu thei »wer to establish cor
responding agencies iu Baltimore, New
York, St. Louis, New Orleans, aud
elsewhere, it will be apparent that they
may be instrumental in disposing of a
large amount, if not all of the work f
which may be left with them for the
purpose.
We are requested to say that contri
butions of money or material may be
sent to Mrs. Dr. Howe, or to any of
the following ladies, who will acknowl
edge receipt of the same:
Mrs. John Bryce, Mrs. McFee, Mrs
Dr. Fisher, Mrs. Bauskett, Mrs. E. W.
Green, Mrs. John Adger, Mrs. Dr.
Fair, Mrs. F. G. DeFontaine, Mrs. Wil
liam Martin, Mrs. Reynolds, Mrs. J.
Devereauz, Mrs. Shand, Mrs. J. Levin,
Mrs. B. E. Levy, Miss Kate Hampton, i
Columbia South Carolinian.
The organization of snch an Associa
tion as is mentioned above, is most
commendable, and worthy of imitation
everywhere. “ The poor we have al
ways with us;” and it is the duty of
the more fortune-favored of every com
munity to provide and support those
thus entrusted to their care. Tfcere are
widowa*and orphans made sue* by the
cruel ravages of a desolatiug war, with
no one to provide for them; some will
ling to work, but unable to obtain it ;
other willing, also, but disabled by sick
ness, infirmity, or age. These must be
provided lor; aud we know of no better
plan than the one just organized in
Columbia.
There was something of the kind in
Augusta before the war—called “The
Needle Women’s Society”—but we do
not know whether it still exists or not.
At all exents, we invite the earnest
consideration of the ladies of our City
to this subject, and commend to them
the example of the noble-hearted women
of Columbia.
In the plan proposed, it appears to
os nn immense amount of good can be
accomplished, in giving work to those
wbo can work, and providing a charity
fund for the support of those who can
not. Tbe ladies of Augusta, never
backward in well doing, nor deaf to the
calls of charity and patriotism, should
go to work at once, and inaugurate
some praiseworthy enterprise. They
can certainly count on the aid and
countenance of thia generous commu
nity.
Ex President Davis.—A gentleman
who saw Mr. Davis, in the past week,
tell* us that he was much shocked at the
change in hi* appearance since last
June. There waa a marked decay of
strength and rigor. The grasp of the
hand waa feeble, and everything showed
that a protracted imprisonment was tell
ing upon the life of the captive. Even
■were Mr. L»avi* to be released to-morrow,
the treatment to which he has been sub
jected baa so shattered his health that
we roach question whether he would
survive a year. The work of malice is
nearly accomplished, and there is little
left for the executioner to work upon.
How long is this disgraceful business to
go out-— Richmond Examiner, Oct. 10.
The National Intelliyencer has the
following in reference to the trial of the
distinguished prisoner:
“We do not see how the trial can well
take place before next spring. The Chief
Justice will be engaged in the Supreme
Court for several months after the open
ing of Congress, and it will scarcely be
practicable for him to hold a session of
fko Circuit Court at Richmond until
after the adjournment of the Supreme
Court
“We are glad to ascertain, as we do
from the correspondence, that the charges
of complicity with the assassination are
abandoned. We never had any faith in
these charges. We have regretted very
much that Mr. Holt’s zeal ii» this branch
of the subject hurried him into steps in
reference to procuring the testimony of
Conover aud others; which, to say the
least of it, have served to wound Mr.
Holt more than Mr. Davis. ’

again* Hon. J. F. Bullitt, in the United
States Court at Louisville, has been

I From Us Saw York Ilsrald.
Th« Southern Bt»te»— Sign* of a
Wholesome Benetton-
A correspondent from Charleston sajs
that Governor * Onr, ie nnticipati|n pf
the caihrscmcut of the restoration policy
of Congress in the impending Northern
elections, i* inclined ta try the expert'
ment of calling the Legfclattire together
for the ratification of the Constitutional
Amendment, and to move also in behalf
of anew election for members of Con
gress, to the end that men may be chosen
who can take the test oath, which is a
law of Congress.
We are gratified to bear this goejd
news as to the inclinations of Governor
Ore. If the Northern October and No
vember elections (the first ot
which came oIP in Pennsylvania, Chip,
Indiana and lowa to-day) should 1 result
decisively in favor of the Constitutional
Amendment, we trust that this intelli
gent and practically disposed Governor
of South Carolina will put into practice
his aforesaid inclinations; for we expect
that President Johnson will cordially
snpport him in the course indicated.
The initiative, too, of the ratification of
the plan of Congress by the still ex
cluded States caunot be undertaken in a
better quarter than South Carolina, the
State which contrived, fomented and led
off in the late rebellion, and the State
which has suffered more from her revo'
lutionary lolly than any other one of the
States involved in it. Let South Caro
lina, with her mischievous record before
the 'y&r, her, bloody record during the
war, and her creditable record since the
war, lead off for the Constitutional
Amendment, and there will be no diffi
culty in bringing all her late insurgent
confederates into liue. The example o f
Tennessee binds Congress to the equiva
lent of admission for the ratification by
South Carolina, Florida, Texas, or any
other out-lyiug State. It is a precedent,
we say, which binds Congress, all the
teachings of Stevens, Sumner, and such
fanatical Radicals to the contrary not
withstanding.
We arc pleased to discover that the
views of Governor Orr are beginning to
be ventilated in various Southern jour
nals in North and South Carolina, Geor
gia, Louisiana, and elsewhere. After
the Northern October elections, we ex
pect that such views will rapidly become
the ruling public opinion of the South.—
The ipse dixit of any such old unrecon
structed Southern Rights politician as
Governor Sharkey, of Mississippi, has
bad its day. Old things have been cast
overboard in the South by the war, and
all things have become new, and new
ideas and new leaders are demanded to
meet the new order of things. Such a
preacher at this day, for example, as
Judge Dawson, of Georgia, who made a
long speech on Southern rights and
Southern wrongs at a Democratic meet
ing in Brooklyn the other night, is not
the man to teach the ways of reconstruc
tion South or North. He would have us
believe that Congress has no authority
over the subject of restoration, and that
the rebellion was nothing more than a
matter of State Rights after all. He
preaches the preposterous doctrine of
“ the Union as it wai,” or the world be
fore the flood, and the sooner such blind
leaders of the blind withdraw, North and
South, the better it will be for all con
cerned.
Ahmikal Semmks on Yankee Ener
gy.—Admiral Semmes uow editor of the
Mobile Gazette, says:
“ We have been beaten in all our con
tests with the Northern people by want
of energy. While we are day dreaming
or sleeping they are at work ; at work
like so many beavers or bees in a hive.
If they have a railroad to build they set
energy at work, and it is built; witness
the great Pacific railroad, now stretching
itself like an immense serpent across the
Rocky Mountains—a work scarcely re
tarded by the war. They are as energetic
in polities as in political economy. We
picked up the Detroit Post the other day
and among other things the energetic
worker in the great bee hive of Michigan
politics informed us that it was putting
“ out a campaign paper,” and that it had
received eleven hundred subscribers to it
in one day I At the last census (18(i6)
Detroit contained a population of forty
five thousand, and was therelore, a little
larger than Mobile. The Pont is a Re
publican of the blackest stripe. This is
the way in which the Republican majori
ties are maintained, and even increased
in the North. Every man subscribes to
a newspaper aud reads; and as the news
papers are Republican machines—nine
tenths of them—run by the giant energy,
do we wonder that all the people are Re
publicans ? What a pity it is that this
giaut does not live among us.”
Cube nob Lockjaw. —The Abeille
Medicate publishes a paper by Dr. Fau
caud, of Pout-Ste. Maxence, on a ease
of lockjaw caused by an earring which
had created a little local irritation, and
by some accident was pulled so hard
that the ear lap was slightly torn, got
inflamed, aud suppurated. The subject
was a boy of 11 ; his jaws were firmly
closed, his head and spine bent back
wards, and his whole muscular system
in a state of rigidity. He had been in
this state for three days, when the doctor
was called in, who immediately admin
istered one gm. of sulphate of quinine
and fifteen gmS. of syrup of morphine.
The sulphate was gradually increased
by one half, aud at the end of the third
day the tetanic shocks had ceased, but
tho rigidity continued. To get rid of
this, Dr. Foucaud applied elastic collo
dion all along the spine, which produced
an excellent effect in the course of U
hours ; and this being repeated, the hoy
recovered in the course of the following
fortnight, '
_M. Gamier Pages has addressed a
letter to the President, urging the obo

Somxthiko Nbw Ultima the Sue. —
Tbe fashionable ladies of New York,
have invented Something new under
Bqp.” It lea “mother and infant recep
tion.” Thn Exprtss gives full particu
lam of tbo latest affair of the kind,
minutely describing the habiliments of
the happy mother and her child, worn
on the occasion. It says:
" The young wife of one of our distin
guished lawyers invited her lady friends
to see her beautiful infant when it
reached the advanced age of four weeks.
The rosy looking baby was attired in a
beautiful dress of lace, sleeves looped
with gold, and a broad blue sash around
its virgin waist.
“ The mother wore an elegant French
gown, of deep lavender, made in broad
plaits at the back, and floating from the
ueck in a long train. Broad lavender
ribbons were fastened on ench shoulder,
brought down to the waist, and finished
with a bow and long ends. The point
of the robe opened over a skirt of cam
bric, tucked with cluuy between each
tuck, and lined with laveuder ; lavender
gloves and some colored ribbons on her
hair completed a most distinguishing
toilet.
“ The reception was from 2 until 4
o’clock, and during those hours the
street in front of the house was lined
with elegant carriages. Bcnoiton was
in the ascendant. Fair forms floated
from the carriages, dressed in the latest
style. Bonnets which looked like head
dresses, basques deep-pointed, shawls of
lace and cashmere, dresses of moire and
corded silk, and diamonds, lent their
riehes to the occasion.
“ The perfume of the sweetest flowers
filled the rooms, and the ladies glorified
in enjoying themselves all the more
within, when the nearest pair of panta
loons was on the coach-box ontside.
The conversation was uuique. The re
ception was not even profaned by a man
waiter appearing. Many rich presents
were given to the unconscious little
cherub on whose account so much fuss
had been made. Even the invitations
were novel:
: Mrs. C C. L , asp Daughter,;

• From 2 until 4 o’clock, No. —W— st. ■
Civilzation Weakens as well as
Strengthens. —Society never advances;
it recedes on the one side as it gains on
the other. It undergoes considerable
changes; it is barbarous, it is christian
ized, it is rich, it is scientific, but this
change is ameliorated. For everything
that is given, something is taken. So
ciety acquires new arts, and loses old
instincts. What a contrast between
the v/ell-clad, reading, writing, think
ing American, with a watch, a pencil,
and a bill of exchange in his pocket,
and the naked New Zealander, whose
property is st club, a spear, a mat, and
an nndivded twentieth of a shed to
sleep under 1 But compare the health
of the two men, and you will see that
the white roan has lost his aboriginal
strength. If the traveller, tells us truth
fully, strike tbe savage with a broad
axe, in a day or two the flesh shall
unite aud heal as if you had struck the
blow into soft pitch, and the same blow
shall send the white man to the grave.
The civilized man has built a coach,
but has lost the use of his feet. He is
supported on crutches, but lacks the
support of muscle. He has a fine Wal
tham watch, but be fails of the skill to
tell the hour by the sun. A Greenwich
nautical almanac he has, but being as
sure of the information when he wants
it, the man in the street does not know a
star in the sky. The solstice he does
not observe : the equinox he knows as
|ittle, and the whole bright calendar of
the year is without a dial in his mind.
His note books impair his memory; his
libraries overload his wit; the insurance
&slice increases the number of acci
dents ; and may be a question whether
machinery does not encumber; whether
we have not lost by refinement some en
ergy, by a Christianity entrenched in
forms and establishments some vigor of
wild virtue.
GOV. 011ß AND THE NEW YoRK IIeR
AI.D.I—The following remarks of the
New York Herald, in regard to its
Charleston correspondence, will he read
with interest by the people of this State
The Herald's correspondent may, for
aught we know, be correctly informed
of the opinions of Governor Orr; but
those which he has attributed to him
are certainly not such opinions as he
has seen fit to ventilate before his con
stituents. In this matter, then, the
correspondent of the Herald may be
right, but in two other points he is cer
tainly wrong. lie says that the Legis
lature has given negroes all civil rights,
except the right ol sitting on juries.
This is a mistake. There is no such
exception in the Civil Rights Rill of
this State. And the idea of another
extra session of the Legislature before
the regular one in December, is prepos
terous. — Charleston Daily News.
Wha* Next.—We have noticed for
some time the purpose to rush through
the “Constitutional Amendment” by
bluffing and imposture. First, it was
telegraphed that the New Orleans Pica
yune had come out in favor of tlyi amend
ment. In due season this was positively
and authoritatively contradicted. We
were not deceived by the statement for a
moment. Next it was claimed that the
New Orleans Times was preparing to
change front on the question. Mr. King,
the editor, sends a dispatch to tho Na
tional Inlelliyencer, branding the as
sertion as an “unmitigated falsehood.”
Fortunately, Colonel Nixon, the editor
of the Crescent, was in New York lately,
or, we suppose, there would have beeri a
similar Radical fraud in regard to that
paper. What next t—Richmond Ex
aminer.
Kihbino a Giant s Wive undkuFai.sk
Pretences—During the past week the
giaut Anak has been exhibiting himself
in the St. Margaret's Music Hall, Can.
terkury, and with his wife and followers,
has occupied apartments at the King’s
Arms Inn. In connection with his vi*t
an amusing incident occurred. At tbs
above well known hostlery a party of
tradesmen are in the habit of meeting
once in each week ; and it having come
to tbe knowledge of these geullemen
that so distinguished a visitor as “Ansk
the Anakim” partook of hospitality
under the same roof, they suggested to
the landlord that ho should be solicited
to join their select party. To this Anak
willingly assented, and accordingly, one
evening last week, he enjoyed the de
lights of Bacchus with several old
citizens of Canterbury. Whilstthe giant
was so engaged, his wife—who, by-the
by, it is said, is a comely woman of Irish
extraction—was engaged in the bar
parlor below, enjoying a tate-a-tete with
the landlady, and several other ladies
who happened to have “just dropped in."
At this juncture a Scotchman who was
staying in the house entered, and on
being introduced to the wife of Anak>
expressed his surprise that a person of
less than ordinary stature should become
the spouse of a giant. At this some
what rude remark “Mrs. Anak” showed
dissent, when the Scotchman held up bis
arm, and declared that, standing erect,
the lady could walk uuder it. To prove
the incorrectness of this assertion, she
presented herself within reach of the
Scotchman, who so far forgot himself as
to kiss her. The lady at this naturuliy
became very indignant, and at once in
sisted on the delinquent entering the
room whereiu sat her husband, and there
openly admitting his offence aud craving
forgiveness. To this proposition the
ScoWhinan at first demurred, but when
told that non-compliance would entail
upon the personal interference of the
giant, he made his way to the room, and
there publicly and frankly made a “clean
breast” of the matter,offering, of course,
every apology for his indiscretion. The
giant as frankly forgave him; but not so
Ihe lady, for, having followed the repent
ant offender, much to the amusement of
the company, she declared that had not
the kiss been obtained under “false pre
tenses,” she would not have felt so much
aggrieved. —Dover Chronicle.

The Rev. Lovick Pierce.— This
eminent Divine and remarkable man,
who has been filling the Methodist pulpit
in this city for several days, is physically,

sixty two years, having commenced his

School besides. What a living hero ?
